I'm going to shop for my buddy the next weekend...

And dear buddy, you're so going to know its me again. LOL!

Anyway, some little tips:

1)If you're sending overseas, declare the item with a low value. :) Some countries have ridiculous VAT and we dont want our buddy to get burn by it!
2)You can try searching the post that your buddy has posted to see what kind of stuff she/he likes.
3)Please dont send things that you wouldnt use yourself.
4)It's always nice to wrap them up nicely! (You dont have to do that... but it will be nice to receive gift that's wrapped.. some kind of surprise!!)

Hmm, any more tips from other raoker?

Thats all I can think of right now.

hello, i want to know is there anyway to check to make sure i have the right addy for my person cause i am getting ready to place the order right now!!

Another tips: You can try to look for items that dont weight alot but in in your buddy's wishlist (within your budget of course!) This will help you save on shipping too.

or use amazon which has free shipping after $25 so you dont have to worry about shipping.

Also true! But then you can't wrap it pretty... though it would keep your buddy from knowing your address.... hmmmm

^ I agree. I love gift wrapping too.

1) What's your favourite past time? Playing with my granddaughter, shopping, collecting victorian antiques and travel.

2) What's your favourite colour? I like black, white, brown, grey, blue, fuschia, and animal print. I am entering a neutral phase for most clothing...I discovered I NEED solid colored tops BUT I just can't give up a little animal print!

3) Anything that you dislike? I hate the smell of musk!

4) What's your favourite cosmestic brand? Bare Minerals, although, I would like to try too faced or any great lip plumper (to plump my lips)!

5) Where do you usually shop? I shop Kohls, Macys, Dillards and Saks. Just discovered I like Ann Taylor.

6) Whats your age group? (sensitive! but it's good that we know our buddy fall within which range) So far, I am the oldest 40's!
